Is it possible to have more than 3 ipso image on the nokia devices?

When I install ipso from boot manager on the IP440, I inititally installed ipso 3.7.1 build004. After that, I install ipso3.7.1 build 010. Later on, I decided to install ipso 3.7.1 build 013. Everything is working fine.

Now, I decide to install ipso 3.7.1 build 016 on the same system. It won't let me install because it is telling me that I just don't have enough disk space. My nokia IP440 has a 20GB disk drive. It just seems that the / partition is too small:

TEST[admin]# df -k
Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/wd0f 396952 360816 4380 99% /
/dev/wd0a 38193 123 35015 0% /config
/dev/wd0d 15399554 359188 13808402 3% /var
/dev/wd0e 2641015 136554 2293180 6% /opt
procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc
TEST[admin]#

so I have two questions:

1) Is it possible to modify the file system during boot manager install? I don't see it anywhere during the boot manager? Is it automatically controlled by Nokia? If so, does it mean I can NOT have more than 3 IPSO images at anytime on the same system? Is it possible make the / partition say 1GB to accomodate more than 3 IPSO images?

2) Is it possible to modify the swap file on the nokia? By default, the swap file size on the nokia is 1GB. Is it possible to make it say 2GB?
TEST[admin]# swapinfo
Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity Type
/dev/wd0b 1048576 26568 1021944 3% Interleaved
TEST[admin]#

 
Why do you want more than 3 IPSO images?
Keeping the previos version just incase the current version proves to be unstable is a good idea.
That leavs space to download a new version.
If you ever need an older version you can reinstall it if you wished.
 
I want to have multiple versions on the nokia (at least 4) so that I can switch back and forth between version without having to "resinstall". It takes about 5 minutes to install and then have to reboot the box. I just want to be able to switch to another version, reboot the box and have the ipso version I wanted.
